EB-5 for a
Competitive
Inner City

Policymakers, economic development professionals and EB-5 experts convened
in July of this year at Harvard Kennedy School to mark the release of the report,
Increasing Economic Opportunity in Distressed Urban Communities with EB-5. The
report, written by Kim Zeuli and Brian Hull, was sponsered by the Garfield
Foundation, Boston Foundation and Surdna Foundation. Zeuli is the head of The
Initiative for a Competitive Inner City, a Boston-based nonprofit research and
strategy organization. Simultaneously ambitious and targeted in its approach,
the research surveys a wide variety of EB-5 projects around the country and
narrows in on five case studies to contemplate how EB-5 funding can benefit U.S.
inner cities. EB5 Investors Magazine spoke with Zeuli about the origins of the
report, their findings, and the future of EB-5.
